An OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode) device based on the emissive electroluminescent layer a film of organic materials. OLED is used for many electronic devices such as TV, mobile phones, handheld games consoles. ULVAC's mass production systems are indispensable to the manufacturing of OLED device. ULVAC is a manufacturer and worldwide supplier of equipment and vacuum systems for the OLED, LCD, Semiconductor, Electronics, Optical device and related high technology industries. The SMD Series are single-substrate sputtering systems for deposition of films such as metal films and TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide) films. ULVAC has delivered a large number of these systems not only Organic Evaporating systems but also LTPS CVD systems. The most important technology of thin-film encapsulation (TFE) is preventing moisture($H_2O$) and oxygen permeation into flexible OLED devices. As a polymer substrate does not offer the same barrier performance as glass substrate, the TFE should be developed on both the bottom and top side of the device layers for sufficient lifetimes. This report provides a review of promising thin-film barrier technologies as well as the WVTR(Water Vapor Transmission Rate) properties. Multilayer thin-film deposition technology of organic and inorganic layer is very effective method for increasing barrier performance of OLED device. Gases and water in the organic evaporating system is having a strong influence as impurities to OLED device. CRYO pump is one of the very useful vacuum components to reduce above impurities. There for CRYO pump is faster than conventional TMP exhaust velocity of gases and water. So, we suggest new method to make a good vacuum condition which is CRYO Trap addition on OLED evaporator. Alignment accuracy is one of the key technologies to perform high resolution OLED device. In order to reduce vibration characteristic of CRYO pump, ULVAC has developed low vibration CRYO pumps to achieve high resolution alignment performance between Metal mask and substrate. This report also includes ULVAC's approach for these issues.

일반적으로 그라파이트는 높은 결정성으로 인해 나노입자상으로 제조하기 어려우며 특히 표면에 친수성을 부여하기가 쉽지 않은 재료로 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 박막 증착에 널리 활용되어 오던 펄스 레이저 어블레이션 기법을 액상에 적용하여 친수성이 부여된 그라파이트 나노입자를 합성하였다. 타겟으로는 그라파이트 로드를 사용하였으며 레이저 출력을 조절하며 액상에서 어블레이션을 실시한 결과 매우 높은 분산 안정성을 갖는 친수성 그라파이트 나노입자를 합성할 수 있었다. FT-IR 분석결과 합성된 친수성 그라파이트 나노입자는 카르복시기 및 카르보닐기 등이 나노입자의 형성과 동시에 표면에 도입된 것이 밝혀졌으며 이는 제타 포텐셜로도 확인할 수 있었다. 최종적으로 Polyethyleneglycol(PEG)과 컴포지트하여 아세톤 센서에 적용한 결과 기존의 카본 블랙 대비 우수한 감도를 나타내었다.

As micro-system move toward higher speed and miniaturization, requirements for embedding the passive components into printed circuit boards (PCBs) grow consistently. They should be fabricated in smaller size with maintaining and even improving the overall performance. Miniaturization potential steps from the replacement of surface-mount components and the subsequent reduction of the required wiring-board real estate. Among the embedded passive components, capacitors are most widely studied because they are the major components in terms of size and number. Embedding of passive components such as capacitors into polymer-based PCB is becoming an important strategy for electronics miniaturization, device reliability, and manufacturing cost reduction Now days, the dielectric films deposited directly on the polymer substrate are also studied widely. The processing temperature below $200^{\circ}C$ is required for polymer substrates. For a low temperature deposition, bismuth-based pyrochlore materials are known as promising candidate for capacitor $B_2Mg_{2/3}Nb_{4/3}O_7$ ($B_2MN$) multi layers were deposited on Pt/$TiO_2/SiO_2$/Si substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering system at room temperature. The physical and structural properties of them are investigated by SEM, AFM, TEM, XPS. The dielectric properties of MIM structured capacitors were evaluated by impedance analyzer (Agilent HP4194A). The leakage current characteristics of MIM structured capacitor were measured by semiconductor parameter analysis (Agilent HP4145B). 200 nm-thick $B_2MN$ muti layer were deposited at room temperature had capacitance density about $1{\mu}F/cm^2$ at 100kHz, dissipation factor of < 1% and dielectric constant of > 100 at 100kHz.

The Thin films were obtained by plasma polymerization of phenyl isothiocyanate. Polymerizations were carried out in rf(13.56 [MHz]) glow discharge generated in an inter-electrode capacitively coupled gas flow system. It was fecund that this monomer produces uniform films with a wide range of thicknesses, from hundreds of nanometers to tens of micrometers. The deposition rate appeared to be dependent on the substrate distance from the monomer inlet. The IR data revealed significant decrease in -NCS groups content in the polymer as compared with the monomer spectrum and indicated for the appearance of new absorption bands corresponding to the -CN and C-H aliphatic groups. The soluble fraction by GC was found to be composed of numerous low molecular-weight compounds.

Among several available high-k dielectrics the lanthanum zirconium oxide ($LaZrO_x$) system is very attractive as a buffer insulating layer. Because both lanthanum and zirconium atoms, the constituents of the $LaZrO_x$ thin film, have been considered to be thermally stable in contact with Si. The $LaZrO_x$ films were deposited by a sol-gel method. After the deposition, The $LaZrO_x$ films were crystallized at $750^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes in $O_2$ ambient. PVDF-TrFE films were deposited on these $LaZrO_x$/Si structures using a sol-gel technique. The sol-gel solution was spin-coated on $LaZrO_x$/Si structures at 500 rpm for 5 sec and 2500 rpm for 15 sec. The deposited layer was dried at $165^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in air on a hot-plate. Then, we deposited Au electrode on PVDF-TrFE films using thermal evaporation.

일찍이 $SiO_2$ (Silicon dioxide) 박막은 다양한 분야에서 유전층, 부식 방지층, passivation층 등의 역할을 해왔다. 그리고 이러한 박막 공정은 대부분 진공의 환경에서 그 공정이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 진공 system은 chamber, loadlock 그리고 펌프 등의 다양한 진공장비로 인한 생산 비용 증가, 공정의 복잡성뿐만 아니라 공정의 대면적화에 어려움을 지니고 있다. 그리고 최근 flexible display의 제조 공정에서 polymer 혹은 plastic 기판을 제조 공정에 적용시키기 위해 저온 공정이 필수적으로 요구 되고 있다. 이러한 기술적 한계를 뛰어 넘기 위해 최근 많은 연구가들은 atmospheric pressure plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (AP-PECVD)에 대해 지속적으로 다양한 연구를 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 remote-type의 modified pin-to-plate dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) 시스템을 이용한 $SiO_2$ 무기 박막 증착에 관해 연구하였다. $O_2$/He/Ar의 gas와 5 kV AC power (30 kHz)의 전원장치를 통해 고밀도 대기압 플라즈마를 발생시켰고, silicon precursor로는 hexamethyldisilazane (HMSD)를 사용하였다. 먼저 HMDS와 $O_2$ gas의 flow rate 변화에 따른 증착률을 조사하였고 그 다음으로 박막의 조성 및 표면 특성을 조사하였다. HMDS의 유량이 100 ~ 300 sccm으로 증가함에 따라 증착속도는 증가했다. 하지만 FT-IR을 통해 HMDS의 유량이 증가하면 반응에 참여할 산소 분자의 부족으로 인해 $-(CH_3)_X$의 peak intensity가 증가하고, -OH의 peak intensity가 점차 감소함을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 또한 증착된 박막의 표면에 particle과 불균일한 surface morphology 등을 SEM image를 통해 관찰 하였다. 산소 유량이 탄소와 관련된 많은 불순물들의 제거에 도움이 됨에도 불구하고 14 slm 이상의 산소가 반응기 내로 주입되게 되면 대기압 플라즈마의 discharge가 불안정하게 되어 공정효율을 저하시키는 요소가 되었다. 결과적으로 HMDS (150 sccm)/$O_2$ (14 slm)/He (5 slm)/Ar (3 slm)의 조건에서 약 42.7 nm/min 증착률을 가지며, 불순물이 적고 surface morphology가 깨끗한 $SiO_2$ 박막을 증착할 수 있었다.

ECR-MOCVD를 이용한 상온조건에서 투명전도성 고분자막이$(CH_3)_4Sn-H_2-O_2$ 분위기하에 $SnO_2$막이 제조되었다. 제조된 투명전도막의 전기적특성은 공정압력, 전자석/분사링/기판사이의 거리, 전자석의 전류, 마이크로파 출력, 증착시간과 같은 공정변수에 따라 조사되었다. 마이크로파 출력과 전자석의 전류가 증가함에 따라 낮은 전기적 저항을 갖는 $SnO_2$막이 형성되었다. 또한 이들 공정변수들이 증착된 막의 광학적특성에 미치는 영향은 중요하게 나타났다. ECR-MOCVD에 의해 제조된 막의 투과도와 반사도는 380-780 nm의 가시광영역에서 각각 93-98%, 0.1-0.5%였다. 증착된 막의 평균 grain 크기는 공정변수에 관계없이 20-50 nm범위의 값으로 일정하였다. 본 연구의 최적화된 조건에서 전기적저항은 $7.5{\times}10^{-3}ohm{\cdot}cm$, 투과도 93%, 반사도 0.2%를 갖는 막이 얻어졌다.

An evaluation of the radiation shielding performance of high-Z-particle-loaded polylactic acid (PLA) composite materials was pursued. Specimens were produced via fused deposition modeling (FDM) using copper-PLA, steel-PLA, and BaSO₄-PLA composite filaments containing 82.7, 75.2, and 44.6 wt% particulate phase contents, respectively, and were tested under broad-band flash x-ray conditions at the Sandia National Laboratories HERMES III facility. The experimental results for the mass attenuation coefficients of the composites were found to be in good agreement with GEANT4 simulations carried out using the same exposure conditions and an atomistic mixture as a model for the composite materials. Further simulation studies, focusing on the Cu-PLA composite system, were used to explore a shield design parameter space (in this case, defined by Cu-particle loading and shield areal density) to assess performance under both high-energy photon and electron fluxes over an incident energy range of 0.5-15 MeV. Based on these results, a method is proposed that can assist in the visualization and isolation of shield parameter coordinate sets that optimize performance under targeted radiation characteristics (type, energy). For electron flux shielding, an empirical relationship was found between areal density (AD), electron energy (E), composition and performance. In cases where ${\frac{E}{AD}}{\geq}2MeV{\bullet}cm{\bullet}g^{-1}$, a shield composed of >85 wt% Cu results in optimal performance. In contrast, a shield composed of <10 wt% Cu is anticipated to perform best against electron irradiation when ${\frac{E}{AD}}<2MeV{\bullet}cm{\bullet}g^{-1}$.
